<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buddy16cat, post: 1458530, member: 37356&quot;]<b>nothing wrong with buying rounds</b></p><p><br /></p><p>They are not issued by a government to be used as currency that is why they are called rounds or medallions instead of coins.&nbsp; Many times you can get these at a lower premium than a government issued bullion coin like the silver American eagle or gold American eagle which makes them good to buy for their silver.&nbsp; If you didn&#039;t pay much over silver market price and silver goes up you can make a profit.&nbsp; The precious metal shop I shopped at also sells coins out of a book but it isn&#039;t their specialty it seems, they just pull out coins from junk silver I think.&nbsp; Buying junk silver I think is a good way to start buying coins when silver is down that way you don&#039;t risk buying a coin for much more than it is worth.&nbsp;&nbsp; I recently purchased a dollar face of dimes, half of them Mercury dimes for $21 and a VG 1898 Barber quarter for $5 in the junk bins.&nbsp; What I like about junk silver is that you get a piece of history along with your silver content.&nbsp; I have started buying coins though with more value to a collector and have bought coins out of the coin books that have just not been priced for a while so they might have been under priced which is good for me.&nbsp; I found Ebay a good place to buy coins sometimes since it gives you an idea what others are willing to pay for something.&nbsp; For instance I bought a large cent where I paid 25 cents more than the last person would pay and one cent more than the person before him.&nbsp; Plus you can look for price guides around the Internet.&nbsp; But to get more on topic, their is nothing wrong with buying a round as a silver investment as long as you didn&#039;t pay too much but this isn&#039;t something sold to collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
